"I'm surprised I'm alive, I really am," said daughter LaKell. "I'm surprised me and my friend actually made it through this, because looking at the damage it's just crazy."

LaKell doesn't remember getting hit from behind or how her car spun into a fire hydrant, badly damaging the side. The impact knocked loose the passenger seat and sent LaKell and her friend, Rochelle, to the hospital.

"The driver of that vehicle could not possible have known that they were OK. And he left them – that driver left those girls like that," Karen said.

Now Karen is determined to find the driver using her own detective skills. She turned to an auto body shop owner for help piecing together from debris left behind at the scene the kind of vehicle that hit LaKell's car.

It turned out the vehicle was a red Jeep Grand Cherokee with a model year between 1999 and 2004.

And even better, the passenger's father noticed something on LaKell's broken bumper.

"There's a partial imprint of the license plate," Karen said.

She hopes the license plate imprint is enough to find the driver.

"It's going to be really hard for this person to hide," Karen said.

Just as important, though, her daughter knows how far she'll go to protect her.

"Any parent would be doing this for their child," Karen said. "You don't mess with my family."

And the Munger family isn't messing around offering that $250 reward. If you spot that red Jeep Grand Cherokee with front-end damage around Brush Prairie, they're hoping you'll call the Clark County Sheriff's Office.
